Shannen Doherty Provides Chemotherapy Progress Report During Cancer Fight
Shannen Doherty Admits She’s “Exhausted” Amid Cancer Battle and Divorce Drama
Shannen Doherty is providing insight into her health journey.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum—who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2020—shared that she’s been feeling “exhausted” ahead of beginning a new round of chemotherapy treatment.
“It becomes very real in an incredibly different way,” Shannen said during the June 24 episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, “because I have no idea how long I’m gonna be on the chemo for.”
Noting that she’s uncertain whether the treatment will go on for several months or “if after three months, it’s not working, if we’re gonna change again,” the Charmed actress added, “That’s not something that I can predict. It’s not something my doctors can predict. And it’s scary.”
And Shannen’s new treatment for cancer—which has spread to her brain and bones—isn’t the only life change that has caused her anxiety as of late. The 53-year-old shared that her ongoing divorce battle with ex Kurt Iswarienko—who she split from in April 2023 after 11 years of marriage—has also made her feel as though she’s “walking into the unknown.”
